A checkpoint at Bridgend – but this was to catch drink drivers
VETERAN campaigner Eamon McCann has laughed off suggestions of new Border control system between Donegal and the North if the Brits quit the EU next week.
The Derry MLA and People Before Profit rep said today: “Never in the field of political debate has so much nonsense been talked as by supporters of Remain.
“David Cameron said that a Leave vote could result in a Third World War – hysterical nonsense designed to spook us into compliance.
“As for Leave leading to border checks on the Buncrana Road – the border between Sweden (in the EU) and Norway (outside) is like Bridgend. You drive across without hindrance and wouldn’t notice a border.”
McCann said: “The two governments and every one of the bigger parties on the island are opposed to a “hard border”. More important, the people on both sides of the border wouldn’t stand for it.
“Does anybody think that the British government is going to send thousands of border guards to stand at crossings at Louth-Armagh?#8221;
